"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
 Signifying nothing.""

"Love me or hate me, both are in my favour. 
If you love me I'll always be in your heart,
If you hate me I'll always be on your mind."

"We have seen better days, 
This happy breed of men, this little world.
This precious stone set in the silver sea.
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house.
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed pot,
This earth,
This realm,
This England."

"Better three hours too soon, than a minute too late."
"A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool."

"Have more than you show, speak less than you know."
"Hell is empty and all the devils are here."
"Expectation is the root of all heartache."
"Go wisely and slowly, those who rush stumble and fall."

"I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed."

"Love all, trust a few, but do wrong to none."

"To thine own self be true."

"Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive."

"When I saw you I fell in love, 
And you smiled because you knew."

"We know what we are but not what we may be."
